One accountable leader for cyber and AI.
vCAIO · vCISO · DPO — fractional, credentialed, accountable.
Readiness isn’t a one-time project — it needs an owner. CyberAI Leadership is that owner on a fractional basis: a credentialed executive who spans AI governance and information security, reports to your leadership, and keeps you continuously compliant.
The disciplines converged. Most leadership didn’t.
ISO 42001 runs on the same management-system logic as ISO 27001, and the EU AI Act and DPDP both turn on data protection, logging, and traceability. Hiring a security leader who can’t govern AI — or an AI advisor who isn’t a credentialed security practitioner — means paying twice and still owning the gap between them.
CyberAI Leadership puts one credentialed, accountable executive across both — the cyber program and the AI program, one owner, zero seams.
Three seats, one practice.
vCAIO — virtual Chief AI Officer
Owns your AI governance: inventory, risk, EU AI Act and ISO 42001 conformity, and oversight of how AI is deployed across the business.
vCISO — virtual Chief Information Security Officer
Owns your security posture: the ISMS, ISO 27001 readiness and maintenance, and audit preparation. Scope is program and readiness ownership — defined upfront.
DPO
India-resident Data Protection Officer for DPDP: grievance contact, board interface, DPIA and audit oversight, and the SDF obligation set.
Why fractional works: these roles are expensive to hire, hard to find in the AI-and-security combination, and most mid-market firms only need a fraction of one.

What is CyberAI Leadership? +
Our fractional executive practice: vCAIO, vCISO, and DPO-as-a-Service, delivered by a team credentialed across both cybersecurity and AI governance. The name reflects the point — cyber and AI compliance have converged, and you need one accountable leader who owns both, not two advisors who each own half.
Why fractional instead of a full-time hire? +
These roles are expensive to hire, hard to find in the AI-and-security combination, and most mid-market firms only need a fraction of one. You get the credentials and accountability without the full-time cost.
What is the vCISO actually accountable for? +
Program and readiness ownership, defined upfront per engagement — the ISMS, ISO 27001 readiness and maintenance, and audit preparation. Accountability is real and bounded; it is scoped before work begins, never implied as unlimited liability.
Is the DPO genuinely India-resident? +
Yes. DPO-as-a-Service provides India-resident coverage of the Data Protection Officer role required of Significant Data Fiduciaries under DPDP, including grievance contact and board interface.
